Vehicle description
About this vehicle This 1979 MG MGB is an original with updates to the exterior, interior and drivetrain. The owner has had it for 5+ years. The vehicle needs work and is mainly used for weekend drives. Vehicle Details I have enjoyed this car and put in a significant amount of work to it recently. I hate to see it go, but as it’s an older car that requires regular maintancence—which I’m no longer able to do. Currently, the car will start and run in idle. it sounds beautiful! However, to put the car in gear and drive, I believe it needs a new clutch slave cylinder ($20). The car will drive onto the tow truck for you to tow it to your home. The paint is original and shows some flaws and cracking throughout. If you love classic cars and a project to tinker around, look no further! We put in a lot of work on this car this past summer to include: 1. Jacked car & drain Differential Fluid, replaced with new fluid. 2. R&R rear brakes & rear axle seals. 3.
